Omschrijving

""A Desert Drama"" is a novel written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, the creator of the famous detective Sherlock Holmes. The book tells the story of a group of tourists who are on a pleasure trip to Egypt. They board a steamboat called the Korosko, which is travelling up the Nile River. However, their journey takes a dangerous turn when they are kidnapped by a group of Islamic fundamentalists who are fighting against the British occupation of Egypt. The tourists are taken to a remote location in the desert where they are held captive. The novel explores the themes of colonialism, imperialism, and religious fanaticism. It also showcases Doyle's exceptional storytelling skills, as he weaves a thrilling tale of survival and adventure in the harsh and unforgiving desert. ""A Desert Drama"" is a gripping and thought-provoking novel that will keep readers on the edge of their seats until the very end.1898. Doyle, the English novelist best known for his Sherlock Holmes detective books, also wrote historical novels. A Desert Drama first appeared in serial form. The book begins: The public may possibly wonder why it is that they have never heard in the papers of the fate of the passengers of the Korosko. In these days of universal press agencies, responsive to the slightest stimulus, it may well seem incredible that an international incident of such importance should remain so long chronicle. Suffice it that there were very valid reasons, both of a personal and political nature, for holding it back.
